How To Create a Join to a Table Through Another Table

Lets say that you want to create a join field "Country" on the Service Request business component (based on the S_SRV_REQ table) where the "Country" field exists on table S_ADDR_ORG but there is no direct foreign key relationship between S_SRV_REQ and S_ADDR_ORG to create the join. The relationship is as such: (Service Request BC) S_SRV_REQ.REQUESTOR_ID -> S_ORG_EXT.ROW_ID -> S_ADDR_ORG.OU_ID (Address table with Country column) Therefore the Service Request is joined to S_ORG_EXT directly through foreign key REQUESTOR_ID and then the "Requestor" (S_ORG_EXT) is joined to the Address (S_ADDR_ORG). It is straight forward to create business component joined fields that involve more than one tables as in the above case. You need to create the joined fields one by one. For the above example if you wanted to create a joined field for S_ADDR_ORG.COUNTRY on the Service Request BC you would firstly need to create a joined field to S_ORG_EXT.ROW_ID. Then you would create a joined field using the joined field (S_ORG_EXT.ROW_ID) as the source field for the S_ADDR_ORG.COUNTRY joined field. 1. In Siebel Tools, Service Request BC > Join > Create a new record with: Table: S_ORG_EXT Alias: Requestor Outer Join Flag: Y Then in Join Specification for that Join: Name: Requestor Destination Column: ROW_ID Source Field: Requestor Id 2. Service Request BC > Field > Create a new field with:

3. Service Request BC > Join > Create a new record with: Table: S_ADDR_ORG Alias: Requestor Address Outer Join Flag: Y Then in Join Specification for that Join: Name: Requestor Address Destination Column: OU_ID Source Field: Requestor Joined Id 4. Now create the joined field for Country. Service Request BC > Field > Create a new field with: Name: Requestor Country Join: Requestor Address Column: COUNTRY You may now be aware that I did not need to create two joins I could have joined S_SRV_REQ.REQUESTOR_ID to S_ADDR_ORG.OU_ID however I wanted to show the fact that you could join through multiple tables as an example.

Hi Joshua I'm new using Siebel 8.1, actually I'm having problems understanding the relationships between Row_id, Par_row_id, and other id columns as you mentioned above. Does exist a entity relationship that show the references between tables?
Joshua Weir Sep 24, 2009

I dont know of an entity relationship diagram in Siebel Bookshelf that shows all the references. ROW_ID is the primary key for each table. PAR_ROW_ID exists on a table if the table can be a child in a 1:M relationship. The PAR_ROW_ID is the foreign key column pointing to the ROW_ID of the parent table. Any table that has _XM as the last characters of the table name is an MVG (multi value group) table. These tables hold the child records in a 1:M relationship. It is usually easy to determine the parent because the name is similar. For example S_CONTACT is the parent Contact table and S_CONTACT_XM is the MVG table for Contact. S_CONTACT_XM.PAR_ROW_ID = S_CONTACT.ROW_ID for this relationship. S_CONTACT_X is an extension table of S_CONTACT. This has a 1:1 relationship with S_CONTACT through join: S_CONTACT.ROW_ID = S_CONTACT_X.PAR_ROW_ID. Any tables with _X as the last characters in table name are 1:1 extension tables. This is how Siebel tables are commonly structured. Except there is one table called S_PARTY this is the parent table of S_CONTACT, S_ORG_EXT, S_POSTN (Contacts, Organizations, Positions) so S_CONTACT.PAR_ROW_ID = S_PARTY.ROW_ID and S_ORG_EXT.PAR_ROW_ID = S_PARTY.ROW_ID. Read more about this in the Siebel Bookshelf. You are best to understand the entity relationships by using Siebel Tools, in Siebel Tools Object Explorer, click on Table and expand the Table icon and click on Column. All columns for a table are listed here. If the Column is a foreign key to another table then the "Foreign Key Table" property of the column will be populated with the foreign key table.
